--- Comment #12 from Dimitry Andric <dim at FreeBSD.org> ---
Okay, I think the mystery is solved.  This new version of flash player
absolutely requires /compat/linux/proc, or it will crash immediately.

E.g. adding the following line to /etc/fstab:

linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0

and mounting /compat/linux/proc makes the plugin work.

I guess the linux-base port already tells you this, but it only says "some
programs" need it, not specifically which ones.  And the flash plug has never
required it until now.

So maybe adding a warning to the pkg-message for linux-flashplugin would be
nice?

Ishizuka-san, can you please also confirm that adding /compat/linux/proc makes
the plugin work for you?
